BULK DATA CENTERS UNVEILS PLAN FOR DATA CENTRE EXPANSION FOLLOWING UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND
Bulk Data Centers ( Bulk ), a leading provider of ultra-scalable , highly connected and sustainable data centres in the Nordics , has announced that construction has commenced of a new 42MW data centre facility scheduled for completion this year .
The new facility will offer 42MW of IT space , designed to accommodate the latest generation of high-density GPU and CPU infrastructure . It will include air cooling and direct liquid cooling capabilities of up to 100kW + per rack .
This is on the back of the successful launch of a 12MW data centre facility at the N01 Data Center Campus , which was ready for service in 2023 and is now fully contracted due to high demand .
The new 42MW facility will be constructed at the 300-hectare site and connect to the existing 125MVA dual onsite sub-stations .
As part of the longer-term scaling at the N01 Data Center Campus , Bulk is working jointly with regional and national grid companies to add 300MW of additional , redundant power capacity that allows for continued large scale data centre expansion , both for hyperscale and colocation facilities .
The N01 Data Center Campus has the potential to grow beyond 1000MW supported by a strategic location in immediate proximity to one of Northern Europe ’ s largest transformer stations and 300 hectares of zoned land .
The site has access to surplus production of 100 % renewable power and is highly connected with large-capacity intercontinental and regional fibre routes , connecting the site directly to European and North American transport hubs .
Cisco and NVIDIA have announced plans to deliver AI infrastructure solutions for the data centre that are easy to deploy and manage , enabling the massive computing power that enterprises need to succeed in the AI era .
The companies are now deepening their partnership in the data centre to enable enterprise customers with scalable and automated AI cluster management , automated troubleshooting , best-in-class customer experiences and more .
“ AI is fundamentally changing how we work and live , and history has shown that a shift of this magnitude is going to require enterprises to rethink and re-architect their infrastructures ,” said Chuck Robbins , Chair and CEO , Cisco .
“ Strengthening our great partnership with NVIDIA is going to arm enterprises with the technology and the expertise they need to build , deploy , manage and secure AI solutions at scale .”
Cisco , with its industry-leading expertise in Ethernet networking and extensive partner ecosystem , together with NVIDIA , the inventor of the GPU that fuelled the AI boom , share a vision and commitment to help customers navigate the transitions for AI with highly secure Ethernet-based infrastructure .
Cisco and NVIDIA have offered a broad range of integrated product solutions over the past several years across Webex collaboration devices and data centre compute environments to enable hybrid workforces with flexible workspaces , AIpowered meetings and virtual desktop infrastructure .
